We had a wonderful time at Hilltop, beautiful view and they were so accommodating for letting us unhook to see the sites, change locations where we parked, and most specially enjoy an evening chatting with gifts of wine. Such a great family, thank you for making our holiday that much better!

I dropped my wife off in Ithaca, which is close by, for a weekend with her long-time friends from university. Upon arriving, I had my choice of a few very nice places to park. The vistas are stunning from Hilltop. We spent a very nice evening together and I was able to get RV things done the next day. I had a very restful and productive stay. Highly, highly recommended.

Whataview were the most wonderful hosts we have stayed with yet! Beautiful property and such accommodating hosts--we really enjoyed chatting with and getting to know the whole family. The farm was absolutely gorgeous, and very easy to park our trailer--no backing up required. Just a 30 min drive to Ithaca, it was easy to get downtown and explore the area, including beautiful gorge hiking. The hosts gave us great recommendations for things to do/see in the area as well. We had to repair a part of our camper while on site, and the hosts were more than willing to assist us. We can't say enough wonderful things about this site and these hosts! We absolutely would love to return one day.
